Jerry Heller, the former manager of rap group N.W.A., has filed a $110 million defamation lawsuit against the filmmakers of Straight Outta Compton over his depiction in the blockbuster biopic. Heller was portrayed in the film by actor Paul Giamatti, who is not named in the suit.

Defendants in the suit include former N.W.A. members and Compton producers Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, their fellow producers, director F. Gary Gray, and NBC Universal, as well as the estate of late N.W.A. member Eazy-E.

Following the meteoric rise and fall of rap group N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.
